What was the reaction in the stands? Any anti Rodgers noise?

Couple of banners went up in one block when the second went in (well done to those who set them up.) Hearing a lot of push back to most of it though from other fans.

Having just watched the goals our defending was plain awful, in fact no one defended Johnsons 2nd. From minute he brushed past Ndidi it was a goal. Ndidi shouldn't be in the side.

Once again outran outfought and as a result outplayed. Spineless, gutless, when I think of the poor players we’ve had in the past due to poverty at the club but they would run through a brick wall some of them, this lot wouldn’t get to within 10 feet of the wall. We aren’t fit and haven’t been for two years. Why all the injuries? Because we ain’t fit! I can see Brendan’s training now, all 5 a sides and ball work.

Because they are above us now?

Haven’t knocked us out yet though. 🤷

[phoneticerror]

I didn’t see any banners. Just a lot of our supporters left when the second went in. I stayed until the very end and it just resulted in the brain dead booting of seats by some. I expected the booing and chants for Rodgers to leave would’ve been more prominent. Weak on and off the pitch.

I need to watch these back. From where we were we couldn’t quite understand how the first wasn’t off side. Still travelling though.

[HybridFox]

A few Brendan sort it out chants. That he did not

[Leicester_Loyal]

Well done to those with banners, at least someone cares.

Hilarious. They won 2-0 with a poor team against a piss poor Leicester. I was walking amongst the forest fans on the way back to the station and they have such misplaced belief that they’re now worldbeaters. Laughable really. We’re shite right now, but at least we’re not deluded.

We are deluded. 

 

Many of our fans think that ,atm, we're too good for a manager like Saun Dyche. 

 

We're heading to the championship unless we start doing basic things we'll.

 

Our elite manager hasn't a clue how to get the best out of a fairly decent squad even if it's not the level he inherited 

[ceebeefox]

Here’s another thing, when was the last time a City midfielder popped up in the box? Newcastle midfielders could’ve scored six on Tuesday and Yates could today too but ours don’t get close,  other than the odd worldly from Tielemans. No wonder our strikers chances are rare they get nobody around them! In yet they’re so slow we somehow still get broke on. They must just be like our defending, zonal round the centre circle! Rodgers out!

Only 1 shot in the entire second half against a newly promoted team is simply terrible on a whole new level of terrible. 

Even worse is when the opposition keeper is hopping around on one leg for 7 mins and we don’t get within 30 yards of the goal

What the **** is wrong with these people. What are they seeing that the rest of us aren't. 

 

I know most football fans are morons and haven't got a ****ing clue what they are watching, but this is new levels of stupid.

I've just got home in Northampton. 

 

That was shit.

 

I left as soon as their second went in.

 

I won't be going to any games until there is a change in management.

We are theirstandard right now. Heck, i fancy they could beat us. Maybe you should switch allegiance lol.

I want to know where our passion and fight has gone and playing quick football,these 3 things have been missing  for some time ,why has it gone so wrong ,I do fear relegation is on the cards unless someone can sort this out ,

[TonyN11]

This bloody world cup break can't come soon enough

Nah I actually thought he had a decent game. The fault for the first was the midfield letting Gibbs white play the ball through

It definitely was his fault. So slow again at trying to play the offside trap. You can see how behind everyone else he is on the replays of the goal. 

 

Happens a couple of times a game at the moment too...

Oh god no, it was bad enough when our away kit was the same colour as their home kit and I was getting really weird looks

It was very very tight, quite how it was decided with the camera angle I don't know. 

[oxtonfox]

We didn’t have to be that good today to get something out of the game. We were poor all round, and most importantly lacked fight and any belief. I could see what was going to happen when they stepped up the intensity. We folded like a cheap deckchair once again. 

The motivation and fight are set by the manager and leaders. The former has failed for 2 years now and there are none in the latter..

The most predictable result. I didn’t speak to a single City fan today that thought we had a sniff against a shit Forest side.

 

Im so jealous of Nottingham at the moment. Proper old ground with good fans, a manager and a team that work their bollocks off. We’re useless in every single department. 

They played the manager interviews together on Five Live an hour ago. One had enthusiasm, desire, life. The other waffled on, phoning it in and making some garbled shit about "continuing to fight".

 

It will be so nice to get a proper manager again.

[tom27111]

My favourite part of the game was after their first goal was given and some moron behind us said, and I quote: "Lino put his flag up, why's he gone to VRA?"

 

Literally speechless. 

[Guest Col city fan]

I always feel very thankful I was brought up with football during the 80’s and 90’s, when it wasn’t this politically correct, pre-fabricated shit that we have to suffer now.

The fact that there was pushback at the anti Rodgers banners (or anti club banners.. whatever it was) tells its own story. 
So many of our fans are brainwashed by the Rodgers PR machine, or for some reason, feel it’s being ‘disloyal’ to raise their malcontent at the current plight. I see the same thing happening on here quite a lot, although the tide does look to have finally turned.

I’ve always considered it to be ‘less of a proper fan’ to be passive actually. Someone who ‘really’ was bothered about how we could get relegated this season, should not be castigated for protesting against the manager and the board.

The club looks to have done a complete u-turn from being one of the best run in the country, and being praised for it, to one where visibility and accountability have become four letter words.

To sit back and to let this happen is one thing, but to STILL be believing in Rodgers and the Board is verging on the bizarre.

’Back in the day’ the fans would have been absoutely furious at losing to Forest. Now we’ve got decent sections still wanting to applaud the players off.

Again, I think it’s endemic of the country at present. The UK is the biggest pile of shitty mess that I’ve ever known in my lifetime, and no-one seems to be particularly bothered. Same with LCFC

[Collymore]

I feel so sorry for the fans that travelled a long way or used money that could have been better used elsewhere for that shower or shite. 

 

Rodgers is an absolute tool. 

[Mendi]

It was so bad.
